Check his postgame out. Leach said our players were afraid of the other team’s jersey. He commented extensively on the lack of hands our team displayed during the loss (especially receivers), discussed evolution and likened our players to animals that lost their hands over time during the evolutionary process. He was worried that in the future, we’d have a bunch of athletes with no hands in Starkville. I found it adequately amusing and filled with controlled rage. I bet he ripped the team in the locker room. Our other coaches can get fired up. Leach is different and it entertains me.
And he alluded to the usual BS officiating we get vs Bama. I told my wife after the first play we were gonna have to beat Bama and the refs, as usual.
That first play was clear defensive holding/PI on that pass attempt. No call. Saw this a few times, even though I got frustrated and didn't watch most of the plays. That dropped TD in the end zone you could see it was caused by the Bama defender grabbing our WR's shoulder a moment before the pass arrived...just enough to throw him off, make it hit his hands just a little differently. Often that is all it takes.
No calls on facemasks against Woody, no calls on Bama holding time and again, BS RTP call when it looked like our lineman actually tried to hold Bryant up after he barely touched him.
And I don't give a damn if & when these pathetic SEC officiating crews throw penalties on Bama later in the game, etc. They only seem to do that either when it doesn't make much of a difference at the time, or after the game is in hand for Bama. I'm convinced they do that on purpose to disguise their intentional bias in the stats.
I freakin' HATE SEC refs!
